We are jubilant to announce the Nunnally's initial newsletter entry. This appearance marks a unique occassion that warrants special attention.

Joffrey Joe Nunnally is a freshman in high school. He also plays basketball.

Carlie Nunnally is a first semester junior at Talladega College. She is majoring in biology. She plays volleyball as well.

The Nunnallys were kind enough to create and share a family video. However, this is not any ordinary video. These pictures date back to the 1920s. Please watch for images of Shipps long gone but never forgotten. This is the first video in what will be a series. If you have ancient pictures like these, please send them to Joffrey at nunnally830@gmail.com for inclusion in upcoming videos.

At the reunion last year in Columbus, many of us noted the deterioration of Porterdale Cemetery. While we cannot fix the whole cemetery, we can do something about the family plot. The walls around the plot need to be replaced. Also, there are 4 unmarked graves out there. The ones for Leonidas Henry Shipp, Jr. and Mack Alexander have been located. Now they need markers. All of this costs money and every little bit helps. If you are interested in helping, please contact Laurie Walker.
